witpqs: The RN battleships and cruisers will move from Sabang to Tandjoengbalai, which is 6 hexes from Singapore. As soon as Batu Pahat is under control they will sortie against the airfields at Singapore.

Your intel says the IJN carriers and BBs are at Singapore. They can easily travel the six hexes to hit the British Fleet at Tandjoengbalai and return the same day, or just move one hex from Singers to launch aircraft at the Brits. Can the British Fleet resist that much power?

Hong Kong, not Singapore.
